Chapter 13
Rafael immediately stepped in to block the view, pulling Evelyn behind him. A cold smile played on his lips. “Kindness? I wouldn’t say so.”
“Rafael,” the voice trailed off. From the shadows at the edge of the sofa, a man elegantly crossed his legs. His obsidian eyes bore into Evelyn, who was now shielded by Rafael, exuding an icy aura. “We are all adults here. Choose your words carefully. Understand the limits and avoid baseless assumptions.”
His voice carried neither too much weight nor too little, but its commanding presence felt like a mountain pressing down, forcing everyone to hold their breath.
Behind Rafael, Evelyn quietly lowered her gaze, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
She had been forced to bow down before everyone while Liam acted as if nothing had happened. When Rafael intervened and made everyone apologize, he remained indifferent. Yet, when Rafael merely hinted at questioning Mila’s character, Liam instantly stepped in!
Because someone had hurt the woman he loved, because someone had tarnished the woman he adored...
Evelyn couldn’t stop trembling. The pain in her chest swelled relentlessly, waves of bitterness flooding through her veins along with her heartbeat.
But Liam, if you love Mila so deeply that you can’t let go, why didn’t you show any emotion back then? Why did you let her believe that the two of you shared mutual affection? Why?
Isn’t life’s cruelest joke that what you thought was mutual love turns out to mean absolutely nothing to the other person?
“Until there’s evidence, I’ll maintain my skepticism. If it happens to offend someone dear to Mr. Drake, then my apologies.” Though Rafael appeared mild and non-aggressive, his words dripped with biting sarcasm.
No one dared to speak. These two had been rivals since university, a well-known fact.
However, compared to the past, Liam had now absorbed the former Clarke family business. With unmatched skill and ruthless tactics, he swiftly claimed the top spot in Starlight City’s business hierarchy. Meanwhile, Rafael, who had spent years abroad, was clearly lagging behind.
